My girls got the opportunity to model for a local kids clothing store for the Humane Society and me and my mom went and watched. It was themed Animals in Wonderland. The people who put this on did a WONDERFUL job. The theme was great and the dogs were soo cute! In fact- there was a Saint Bernard who I really wanted to take home with us. She was just begging me to come live with our family! My kids would have loved her!! I am trying to soften my husband up now, but he seems to think it would be torture to have that pet live here in the hot sun. I tried to tell him whether we take her or not she is STILL living in Texas! One of my girls go to walk a dog with her down the runway too- and she asked me if we could take the dog home. I wish we could have for her ! ;( maybe one day!
I had to bribe my girls because they were so scared that people would laugh at them. LAUGH! seriously girls!! LOL
So, they did great for their first time and I bought them each a pillow pet (they have been begging for these) so I caved and got them as a treat for behaving so well backstage. I am always so impressed at how well my girls behave around others. I just wish they would get along at home and not fight! LOL Its so funny, they definitely have a love/hate relationship. They argue constantly but when I tell them to just take a break and play separately for a while, they look at me like I am a crazy person! "Why mom, why would you punish me from my sister" LOL.
Well, As soon as we got home and walked in the door, the no good, very bad evening set in. When the girls started fighting, I suggested the "play separately" idea for the billionth time (looked at like crazy again) and then the fighting continued. I tried. It was obvious that they were all (baby Caroline and Joseph too) over tired and I was over stressed. Nothing was going to work but food and bed!
My frappi that I got on the way home was just not enough to cure my fatigue and go up against all these kiddos!
They wore me out! my eyeballs are/were falling out (not literally-lol).
I really was wishing for either a movie night with my mom or a date night with my husband but NOPE, didnt happen. Oh the joys of children! My parents have been here for a week and unfortunately we just never got to get away. Me and my mom did plan a trip to New York during fashion week though in about 10 years---LOL (hopefully sooner, maybe 5 years) hehe.
After calming all my kiddos down, well actually after my husband calmed all my kiddos down, I decided I would look up houses on the computer. Not because we are planning on moving but because I needed a fireplace fix. Yep- I needed to look at nice fireplaces in old (1950s) houses. My house is contemporary design with a fake, FAKE, firepleace ;(
I have always wanted a brick fireplace with a hearth and a mantel. It just wasnt in the cards for us when we were house hunting and the perfect location just wasnt the perfect house- but it fit at that time. After a day like today, I was just wishing that I had a cup of coffee and could sit and relax on a comfy rug in front of a real fireplace. That would so be a wonderful way to destress. Oh, and when the kids are in bed it would be wonderful for some mommy and daddy time! I swear it would be like a vacation escape for me. That is just how much I love fireplaces!
Wish I may, wish I might, I hope to have this wish one night! ;)
